I think the current EVGA board is manufactured by foxcon. (just like all the BFG board)

I have owned mostly ASUS boards, and to be honest their quality controls sucks ass. I've had more problems with their boards than any. Then again I've owned a LOT of asus boards versus just a few from MSI and EVGA.

Once the tech starts showing up evenly distributed among the boards offered you look for the quality of components and the implementation of the bios for the things you want and need. Sometimes you would be suprised who comes out ahead in giving you what you want.

Manufactures seemingly have their own cycles of crap. I remember when DFI was the equivalent of an ECS and ECS never thought of making anything costing more than the budget sector would allow.

Asus was a nice maker when they first opened up for a few years, then the quality fell off, now they are getting back into a good position.

All EVGA does is contract someone out to make their products, specifying components and performance along the way. It's a very smart move that relieves them of tons of liability and is just a win-win for whomever they contract with too.
